+    * Sharding improvements:
+
+      * Prevent object updates from auto-creating shard containers. This
+        ensures more consistent listings for sharded containers during
+        rebalances.
+
+      * Deleted shard containers are no longer considered root containers.
+        This prevents unnecessary sharding audit failures and allows the
+        deleted shard database to actually be unlinked.
+
+      * The sharder daemon has been enhanced to better support the shrinking
+        of shards that are no longer required. Shard containers will now
+        discover from their root container if they should be shrinking. They
+        will also discover the shards into which they should shrink, which may
+        include the root container itself.
+
+      * Improved performance of sharded container listings when performing
+        prefix listings.
+
+      * Improved container-sharder stat reporting to reduce load on root
+        container databases.
+
+      * The container sharder can now handle containers with special
+        characters in their names.
+
+      * `swift-container-info` now summarizes shard range information.
+        Pass `-v`/`--verbose` if you want to see all of them.
+
+      * Don't inject shard ranges when user quits.
+
+      * Various other minor bug fixes and improvements.
+
+    * Python 3 bug fixes:
+
+      * Fixed a potential server error when uploading data via a tempurl.
+
+      * Fixed a potential server error when getting symlink details.
+
+    * Added the ability to connect to memcached over TLS. See the
+      `tls_*` options in etc/memcache.conf-sample
